OT: Accompaniment plugin for Sonar

Hey, guys & gals.

You know about electronic keyboards that have auto-accompaniment: with your left hand, you hit the C key, and you get C-major accomp, or you hit G & F at the same time and you get G7 accompaniment, or A and A-flat at the same and you get A-minor accompaniment, etc, etc, etc. Meanwhile, you merrily play the tune on your right hand.

Does anyone have similar functionality in a plug-in for Sonar? I kind of envision something that works similarly to Session Drummer, where you build a "song" (or sequence of chordal accomps). Then you can optionally extract the accomp into individual tracks (rythmn, bass, accomp instrument, etc.), so you can further customize down to the individual bar/measure.

Steve,

As an additional tool, you really should check out Band in a Box. It's a standalone app, but this is what these guys do, to extremes, and it's a very mature product. They're the head of the pack for auto-accompany stuff. An old friend of mine who did a lot of MIDI single / duo gigs used it heavily, it's a nice piece of work.
